Institutional GBA+ capacity
PCO’s GBA+ Focal Point (1.5 FTE) continues to develop GBA+ tools and resources for analysts in the department, including targeted training modules, case studies, and tools to help analysts provide direction on GBA+ to departments. The Focal point also operates a general mailbox, and participates in the PCO Employment Equity and Diversity Advisory Committee (EEDAC).
PCO continues to maintain a GBA+ Champion at the Deputy Secretary level. The GBA+ Champion is responsible for the promotion of GBA+ at PCO.
PCO continues to develop a GBA+ framework/directive for the department and expects to complete this work in 2020-2021.
GBA+ training is mandatory for over one third of positions at PCO, including for all executives in the EX-01 to EX-05 levels.
As part of PCO’s role of supporting Cabinet operations, PCO analysts provide the “challenge function” for departments to advance policy, legislative and government administration proposals through Memoranda to Cabinet (MCs) and other Cabinet documents, which incorporate GBA+.
PCO’s GBA+ Focal Point continues to provide ongoing updates on the quality of GBA+ in Cabinet documents to the Deputy Secretary, Cabinet Affairs analysts and policy and program leads in other government departments. The GBA+ Focal Point also continues to work across PCO to support the GBA+ challenge function through tool development, training for PCO staff, case study development, and ad hoc support for PCO analysts.
In addition, the GBA+ Focal Point is engaged on all PCO-led MCs, to ensure that GBA+ is properly completed.
